We live our lives at an increasingly frantic pace. World affairs also seem to be in permanent conflict. We yearn for calm, quiet and peace. What can we do? Claire Nahmad explains how using guided visualisation with the power of meditation can bring us to a place of calm which, in turn, can send a flow of healing peace out into the world. For this book, she has written eleven 'meditations' inspired by religions, traditions and cultures from around the world. They come from the Islamic and Buddhist traditions as well as Japanese Shinto, Christian, Jewish Mystical, Celtic, Chinese, African, Native American and Hindu contributions along the way. Her final meditation 'a candle of vision' encompasses aspects of all other meditations, and demonstrates how they are inextricably linked, and that regardless of race or creed, the desire for peace in the world is universal. The format is ideal for contemplative reading, at home or on the move. It is a book that can be turned to time and time again and will truly help us find peace in our own hearts and promote peace to those around us. It is a book for our time.
